In Samuel First we read of Saul—The people’s king—his rise and fall.
In Second Samuel, then we hear of David—man to God so dear.
In First of Kings the glory filled The temple Solomon did build.
And Second Kings records the lives of prophets, kings, their sons and wives.
In First of Chronicles we’re shown The house of David and his throne.
And Second Chronicles records King Solomon’s GOOD deeds and words.
In Ezra is built God’s house again, Which had for long in ruins lain.
And Nehemiah builds the wall Round Judah’s city, great and tall.
Then Esther, Jewish maid and wife. Raised up to save her people’s life.
And Job—his patience sorely tried—At last God’s dealings justified.
Then come the Psalms, whose sacred page
Is full of truth for every age.
